Херу! Херу!

     Am

Коли вертав у рідний край,

  C

Херу! Херу!

     C              G

Старе кохання зустрічай:

  Am                    Em

В руці патик, замість ока пшик,

   C       G     Am      Em

Як жінка побачила, кинулась в крик:

Am

Джонні, не впізнаю я!

 Херу! Херу!

Де очі карії подів,

     Am                 Em

Звабливий погляд, як вперше зустрів,

C         G        Am          Em

На кого покинув мене і синів?

Am

Джонні, не впізнаю я!..

Приспів:

Стріляй-рубай! Рубай-стріляй!

Стріляй-рубай! Рубай-стріляй!

Ти зараз - каліка, а був, як бугай,

Am

Джонні, не впізнаю я!..

Де жваві ніженьки твої?

Херу! Херу!

Де жваві ніженьки твої?

Херу! Херу!

Кому ти ніженьку віддав,

Як йшов у бій, в окоп стрибав?

Ти своє вже відтанцював,

Джонні, не впізнаю я!..

Нема руки, нема ноги...

Херу! Херу!

Нема руки, нема ноги...

Херу! Херу!

Нема руки, нема ноги,

Безокий каліка кому до снаги?..

Сиди з капелюшком та гроші проси!

Джонні, не впізнаю я!..

Приспів.

Як добре, що прийшов до дом,

Херу! Херу!

Як добре, що прийшов до дом,

Херу! Херу!

Я рада, що прийшов до дому

Живий із острова Цейлон,

Хоч тілом каліка та в серці вогонь,

Джонні, не впізнаю я...

Приспів.
